We are excited to announce that to better serve both youth and arts communities Chameleon has formed partnerships with five small arts agencies; Stonelion Puppetry Theater, Egypt Source Youth Theater, U-Literation (spoken word poetry group), New Incentives (African drumming and dance) and members of Light In the Other Room (Kansas City’s African American Professional visual arts organization). These five excellent arts groups have become Chameleon Arts Agencies in Residence and are partnering to facilitate Chameleon’s youth and arts development programming; Youth Arts Internship YAI and Chameleon Arts Caravan for 2006 and 2007. Chameleon will provide these five arts groups with a home base, administrative, studio and technical support for their programs. Working together Chameleon and the five arts groups form a unique interdisciplinary arts community that will enrich each other’s creative work and add value to Chameleon’s cultural and youth programs. Chameleon and the resident agencies will provide Kansas City Parks and Recreations with vital arts and youth development workshops, performances and exhibitions for community centers and Parks events.
